Everything and nothing has changed
Glasgow can still surprise you
Hi friends,
If you’re new here, hi! Head on over to my welcome post to find out more about what to expect each week. This post is free to read and share, and if you know a reader or writer of memoir in particular, feel free to send them a link.
Start here! Welcome to What Now? with Lindsay Johnstone
“There is so much here for smart, creative women from this smart, creative woman, plus I have only just discovered Lindsay reading extracts from her powerful memoir – I am already hooked (and now a complete fan of her work).”
There’s a walk I take on Friday evenings when my younger daughter is at gymnastics. I drop her off at her class just before the hour and nip three minutes back in the direction of home. I swing off the main road, under the railway arch and onto the single-track road in a way that’s pure muscle memory. I don’t have to think about it, it’s just something I do. I know these roads so well. Know where I’m not supposed to leave the car too, but each week I cross my fingers no one will come out of the bowling club and tell me off. So far, I’ve been lucky.
